The late Steve Irwin is best remembered for his daring wildlife adventures.
However, as co-owner of the Australia Zoo, he had some chores to tend to.
An animal lover like no other, Irwin’s dedication was even noticeable in the smallest of encounters.

The clip shows the perfect balance between charm and knowledge that made Irwin a worldwide celebrity.

What’s going on here?
he says, as if approaching two young boys.
Irwin then grabs a kookaburra in each hand and says, You guys need to make up.
You be friends now.
Realizing they want to keep fighting, the conservationist resorts to making kookaburra noises himself.
After letting the bird on his left hand throw a little tantrum, he thinks the fight is over.
But just to be sure, he places them in separate areas of the enclosure.
Steve exclaims, as he returns to his motorcycle.
This #flashback makes my heart happy, Irwin’s daughter writes.
Dads kindness and love for all species will live on forever.
Steve loved every animal @australiazoo!
